CBS Sports ranks college football's most intimidating stadiums. Where did LSU rank?
CBS Sports ranked LSU atop its list of most intimidating venues ahead of the 2025 season. The top 10 follows a release by EA Sports' College Football 26 of the video game's toughest places to play.
"Tiger Stadium provides a pressure-cooker feel before every kickoff against SEC competition, especially when the game's played at night -- which happens often," CBS Sports' Brad Crawford said.
LSU welcomes Louisiana Tech, Florida, Southeastern Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Western Kentucky into Baton Rouge for its 2025 home schedule.
"You get southern Super Bowl vibes before Alabama-LSU or Florida-LSU in Baton Rouge because the games mean so much to a passionate and buzzed fanbase," Crawford wrote.
Since 2003, LSU is 129-21 at home.
The Tigers generated plenty of hype during the offseason. Head coach Brian Kelly's staff took an aggressive approach to recruiting the transfer portal, which resulted in the highest-ranked class of the cycle. LSU's talent, mixed with a favorable home schedule, has the Tigers riding high into the 2025 season.
However, LSU will open the year away from the comfort of Tiger Stadium, traveling to take on Clemson.

Jalen Hurts channels his inner Michael Jordan with his training camp arrival
Jalen Hurts is the face of Jordan Brand and arrived at Eagles training camp channeling his inner Michael Jordan It's gotta be the shoe money! That's the famous line from director Spike Lee to Michael Jordan during the Legendary Air Jordan Nike commercial from 1991 starring Michael Jordan and Spike Lee (director of He Got Game and She's Gotta Have It) as Mars Blackmon. Fast forward 34+ years, and Lee could again ask the face of Jordan Brand the same question. There have been many discussions about Jalen Hurts' position in the NFL quarterback rankings. After playing in two of the last three Super Bowls and winning one in February, the Philadelphia star quarterback has dedicated his offseason and summer to learning from past champions like Michael Jordan, Carmelo Anthony, and Derek Jeter, among others. The goal has always been to keep the "main thing, the main thing" while refocusing and adopting a championship mentality that'll allow the Eagles to repeat and be Super Bowl contenders for years to come. That journey to repeat started on Tuesday morning with Hurts and the Eagles arriving at the NovaCare Complex for the start of training camp. After spending time with Jordan, Hurts arrived in a similar look, decked out in Jordan Gear. Over the past three seasons, his 91.5 overall grade ranks fifth among all quarterbacks. Hurts is only the seventh NFL QB to appear in multiple Super Bowls and win a championship in their first five seasons. The other QBs who did so are Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner, and Russell Wilson.

Robert Kraft's son, Josh, leaves Patriots with focus on Boston mayoral race
The Kraft family is focused on more than football. Robert Kraft's son, Josh Kraft, has left the Patriots franchise as he zeroes in on the Boston mayoral race, where early polling shows he's trailing substantially to incumbent Michelle Wu. Josh, 58, is trailing Wu in the polls, 59-29 percent, ahead of this November's election cycle. Advertisement Robert Kraft [right] embraces his son Josh Kraft [left]. MediaNews Group via Getty Images Josh previously held a role with the team as the head of the New England Patriots Foundation, but a recent media guide released by the team points out the changes being made. Josh is one of four brothers in the Kraft family, three of whom have been involved in the operations of the Patriots, with Jonathan Kraft currently serving as team president. Advertisement Daniel Kraft also works within the family business and is the president of The Kraft Group. The Patriots are looking to turn it around after a turbulent run since Tom Brady left the franchise in 2020. New England's 29-56 record is the sixth-worst in the NFL over the past five seasons. There is optimism in Foxborough, though, as second-year QB Drake Maye impressed as a rookie and the team brought back Mike Vrabel to be head coach after Jerod Mayo went 4-13 in his lone season. Advertisement Mayo replaced Bill Belichick after he led the franchise to six Super Bowl wins. Robert Kraft is the Patriots' leader as they look to turn the team around in 2025. AP At one point during the end of the season, Jonathan was seen complaining about Mayo's play-calling. 'The last two years were the worst years of my 31 years of ownership. We have to change that,' Robert Kraft said in June.

LSU football an option for four-star tight end after Texas A&M decommitment
Could LSU football be in the mix for a decommitted 2027 tight end? Four-star George Lamons went back on his choice to play at Texas A&M, per Rivals' Hayes Fawcett. The Tigers are one of a few suitors in the mix for Lamon's services. They're up against the likes of South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Alabama. Rivals' Industry Rankings ranks Lamons No. 5 at his position and No. 81 overall in the 2027 cycle. He is the No. 12 prospect out of Georgia. The Quitman, GA native will enter his junior year at Brooks County High School this fall. If LSU can't secure a tight end commit in the 2026 cycle, it will need to swing big at the position for 2027. Lamons possesses raw talent that stands out for being so early in his recruiting process. At six-foot-three and 200 pounds, he already commands attention from most SEC teams.
